Spring is officially here! I love spring because it means longer daylight hours, flowers blooming and beautiful bright colors everywhere I look.
To help welcome spring, I decided to throw a little party, which also gave me a chance to feature the Chinet® Cut Crystal® line of disposable tableware. If you aren’t familiar with Chinet® Cut Crystal® products, I’m excited to be the one to introduce it to you! I first discovered the line a few months ago when we were about to host our Lunar New Year party.
We always buy disposable tableware for our parties because it makes clean-up a lot easier, but I’m always trying to find nice looking disposable tableware because I want the tableware to look elegant. So I dragged Mr. K to about three different stores before I came across Chinet® Cut Crystal® cups. They were everything I was looking for. They were crystal clear and had a swirl pattern on them that made them look really fancy.
Then I discovered there was also matching cutlery and plates. Tableware problem solved!
I absolutely loved how the Chinet® Cut Crystal® collection looked during my Lunar Party, so when I had an opportunity to work with the Chinet® brand and feature the Chinet® Cut Crystal® collection, I gladly signed up to do so. In addition, there is a giveaway at the end of this post for a $100 gift card plus a package of Chinet® product!
My spring party took place in the afternoon. I mainly featured small bites, desserts, and drinks. Of course, there had to be sangria! I also had a wine area set up for those who wanted something a little stronger. I’m completely infatuated with the new Chinet® Cut Crystal® stemless wineglasses. I want to actually use them to decorate various parts of my house.
And since I know everyone was expecting one, I had a full dessert table set-up! While I didn’t plan on it, I loved that the tablecloth actually matched the waves of the tableware.
We’ve had an unusually warm winter this year in San Diego, and the week right before the official start of spring, temperatures reached the low 90’s. So, I had an ice cream sundae bar. The small Chinet® Cut Crystal® 9 oz glasses were the perfect size for my do-it-yourself sundae station.
Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun with this one!
And afterwards, clean-up was easy! I only had to wash the big serving plates and pitchers and everything else was disposable.
Now onto the giveaway. You’ve seen what I did with my Chinet® Cut Crystal® collection. Now I want to know what you would do! Please leave a comment below answering this question: How would Chinet® Cut Crystal® elevate your next get-together?

Informal picnics and backyard barbeques will start to look pretty fancy when we start using this Chinet cut crystal. It will really jazz up an ordinary get together.
Instead of getting foam plates and paper cups I would elevate my daughter’s graduation party by using Chinet Cut Crystal.

we are going to have a 5 years anniversary party. Chinet Cut Crystal would make everything looks better
It would make clean up very easy since I have a big family.
The Chinet clear cups are really pretty, and more elegant that a foam cup!
They would be great and add some class to the next time that I have my girlfriends over for a brunch or lunch.
Love ,love, love the glasses! They’ll definitely jazz up a going-away party currently in the works.
these are too pretty to be disposable!

Chinet Cut Crystal would be prefect for my kid’s birthday. Elegant style for the setting and to set the theme for kids.
This would be amazing for our house warming party!

This would elevate my next get together because I won’t have to worry about plates and cups breaking on the guests as I host and spending a fortune on buying hard quality dinnerware. Cheap and durable works for me!

Chinet’s Cut Crystal would be a real treat to use at parties with friends and family! They would also work great at Fiesta Island during a bonfire when you need something more than just an ordinary paper plate!!

We always make red,white and blue parfaits on the 4th of July with jello and berries and whipped cream. We use my glass parfait glasses which I only have seven of (one broke years ago) so there is never any to share or take along. Now we can make them for the actual party and not just the family after party! My kids will love to be able to share their creation with their friends and I will love the easy clean-up!
It would jazz up my graduation party/cookout!

Chinet Cut Crystal would be perfect for a few outdoor BBQs I will be having this spring and summer with family and friends. They look a lot nicer than paper plates/cups and bring an element of style that I like.
This would be great for everyday use when I just want a drink or snack and I don’t want to wash the dishes.
Chinet Cut Crystal will elevate my next get-together which will be a birthday party.

I am going to use it to make my MIL’s 94th birthday party extra special
This would make a special going-away party I have planned even prettier!

I am helping host my brother’s rehearsal dinner. We are having a BBQ at a local park and we will use Chinet products at the BBQ!! Chinet products would help us immensely by minimizing clean up!
we don’t have any nice dishes for our place and we are having guests come for the summer. thanks for the chance.
i have a party planned for next month and this would be perfect!!
clear disposables sure beats the paper plates! i’d feel more special!
Chinet products would make our parties so much nicer.

Chinet® Cut Crystal would elevate our occasions because it looks nicer than paper tableware and would make clean up easy.
I’d really like to have a party when my SO submits his big research paper (should be in just a few weeks!) but we will definitely need some more plates. These look so much nicer than paper ones!
These Chinet products would make a fun party more elegant!!
I would use these for a Mother’s Day get-together. We usually do a lunch with family, and these would be nicer than our usual paper plates, white plastic cutlery and Red solo cups.
I will be hosting Mother’s Day Brunch this year and can already imagine serving mimoas in the Chinet cut crystal stemless wineglasses and my yogurt granola fruit parfaits in the elegant 9 oz. glasses. Best of all the clean-up will be a breeze.
I love Chinet products. This is even better. They are so elegant!
I have had to wash dishes during a party so that we could serve the next course. These are nice enough to use for a dinner party and would give me the extra pieces I need to keep the dinner moving.
Such a great idea to use the cups for sundaes! I’d love to use these to elevate my birthday party and feel like we are eating off of a much more elegant set of plates and glasses than your typical disposables! Looking forward to hunting these down!

Chinet would make the party more casual and fun
These are really pretty!
YEAH!!!!
I love your sundae party! I think DIY layered dips using those cups would be fun too, like with guacamole, salsa, corn, etc.
The china wear looks great! It’d really add a nice touch to an adults cocktail party. And I can definitely think of a lot of things to do with the stemless wine glasses!

I would use it for my big Family Homecoming Party that I am having in June by serving dinner with the plates and using the bowls to serve my homemade ice cream to the guests! And I would use the glasses to serve an assortment of beverages. These dishes look amazing and would help with clean up!

i would elevate it to a more pleasing setting; a good option for an active party 🙂
I love having people over but hate cleaning up. I would use the tableware to elevate my game and throw a classy party without the look of cheap paper products!
I haven’t seen these before but it will be perfect for my son’s graduation party!
